In this gripping clip, Andy Webb breaks down exactly how Martin Bashir won over Earl Spencer, gaining access to Princess Diana through a series of calculated moves that included fake bank statements, fabricated threats, and relentless pressure. Webb explains how these tactics created a false sense of danger around Diana — and how that fear was used to convince her to sit down for the infamous Panorama interview.
But how did Bashir persuade Charles Spencer? And why did the BBC fail to stop him, even when questions were raised years later? Webb lays out the whole sequence: the initial approach, the key conversations, the forged documents that fooled Spencer into believing Diana’s inner circle was spying on her, and the emotional leverage that led the princess to trust Bashir during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life.
Webb also exposes how the BBC handled the fallout — from internal cover-ups to delayed investigations and decades of silence. According to Webb, the deception didn’t just damage Diana; it eroded trust in British journalism and set off a chain reaction that the BBC is still trying to recover from.
What exactly did Bashir show Charles Spencer? Why did Spencer believe him? And how would Diana’s life — and the monarchy — have been different if this meeting had never happened? These are the questions Andy Webb answers with extraordinary detail, based on years of digging, testimony, and evidence the public rarely sees.
If you’ve ever wondered how the most famous royal interview in history was engineered through manipulation, forgery, and fear, this conversation reveals the truth behind the scandal that shook Britain — and the deception that fooled a brother, betrayed a princess, and changed everything.
